Is there a number I can type into a landline to forward the calls somewhere else?

Question

Someone at work said you can do this but he doesn't know the code. Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

Try this website - http://www.callsure07050.co.uk/free_0871...

There is some useful info at the bottom of the page that tells you how to divert:

I have also copied it here:

" 1) To divert ALL Calls follow the instructions below:

*21*

Then Type in the Number you want to divert to: e.g 07771 x*x x*x

Then Press the # key

- so you would type *21*07771xxxxxx#

To Cancel the Divert press:  #21#



2) To divert calls to if your landline is busy, follow the instructions below:

*67*

Then Type in the Number you want to divert to: e.g 07771 x*x x*x

Then Press the # key

- so you would type *67*07771xxxxxx#

To Cancel the Divert press:  #67#



3) To divert calls to if your landline if you do not answer the call after 20 seconds, follow the instructions below:

*61*

Then Type in the Number you want to divert to: e.g 07771 x*x x*x

Then Press the # key

- so you would type *61*07771xxxxxx#

Answer 2

where I am at is *72.

Answer 3

all the UK answers....

in the US and prob canada..

*72 (some places it is 72#)

the dial tone will stutter

then dial the number you want to forward your calls to, when the number answers your calls are forwarded...

if no one answers the phone, repeat this a second time to activate call forward

to disable call forward dial *73 (or 73#)

you need to have call waiting feature on your phone line for this service to work...

Answer 4

Try *21* then the number you want to divert to if this doesnt work call your landline provider they'll give you the code but beware it costs you to recieve a call thats diverted the cost will appear on your landline statement

Answer 6

If you're with BT you have to have subscribed to their call divert service which costs about £1-£2 per month plus the cost of the diverted calls.

To set a divert:

*21* number # For all calls

*61* number # For unaswered calls

*67* number # For calls when you are on the phone (busy)

To cancel: #21# etc

To check status: *#21# etc

Codes for some Virgin media lines can be different, but the above is a european standard. Contract mobile phones use the same codes, but add an extra * or # at the beginning to set or cancel.
